Massage Therapy Q & A

What is Massage Therapy?

Massage therapy involves the manual manipulation of your body’s soft tissues. A massage therapist uses their hands, fingers, and arms to relieve your muscle strain and promote healing. This type of therapy can treat a variety of illnesses and injuries.

Sometimes known as rehabilitative massage, massage therapy can help relieve pain and reduce inflammation. Studies have shown that massage can even improve your mental health and ease troublesome symptoms caused by a variety of chronic conditions.

What Conditions Can Massage Therapy Treat?

Massage therapy is often used to treat the following conditions:

Headaches
Back and neck pain
Sore or tense muscles
Depression and anxiety
Neurological conditions
Chronic pain

Massage may also help relieve pain and discomfort caused by cancer or cancer treatments. It can encourage healing after a surgery or injury and help ease muscle tension.

What Can I Expect From a Massage Session?

At Results Physical Therapy, you begin by speaking with your massage therapist to discuss your treatment goals. Your massage therapist asks about any current health conditions or past injuries. You have the chance to ask questions or express any preferences you may have for your massage.

You disrobe in private and lie down on a padded massage table. During the massage, your massage therapist works on one part of your body at a time. A sheet or blanket covers your other body parts to keep you warm and comfortable.

Your massage therapist checks in several times during the session to ask if you are experiencing any discomfort. After the session, your massage therapist provides further instructions on how to maximize the benefits of your massage at home.

Can Anyone Provide Therapeutic Massage?

Not all massage practitioners can use massage therapy to treat illnesses or injuries. Practitioners at spas or salons may only offer massages for general relaxation. If you're recovering from surgery or have a chronic condition, it’s vital to choose a massage therapist who can safely work with patients like you.

The massage therapists at Results Physical Therapy have the highest level of expertise and can perform therapeutic massages on patients of all backgrounds. Staff members work together to develop an integrated treatment plan that meets all your needs.
